the solution is tax reform that broadens the tax base by scaling back tax preferences and cutting the corporate rate. we could cut it to 25%, scale back the deductions, the credits, the exemptions and have a competitive territorial system and have it all be revenue neutral. there is such a proposal that has been scored by the joint committee on taxation here in congress. we know we can do it. we're not saying it's easy. some of these preferences of course on these loopholes are ones that are very difficult to reduce or eliminate, but it would be the right thing to do for our economy. i do think we have seen some signs of developing bipartisan consensus on this issue, and i'm hopeful that we will see the same movement for pro growth individual tax reform because reforming the entire code is critical to regaining competitiveness, spurring growth and producing the revenues we need to pay for important public priorities. the smart way to raise revenue then is not through tax rate hikes that threaten to shrink our economy but rather thoughts u tax reform designed to help grow the economy.
